SUNDAY’S fixture at Ballycrystal provided 18-year-old Birr, Co Offaly native Eoin Middleton with a victory he’ll never forget, as he partnered Well P (7/2 - 4/1), a horse whom he jointly owns with his father Patrick, to success in the five-year-old geldings’ maiden.

The Ellen Doyle-trained son of Ask was making just his second appearance for the stable having finished fourth in a similar contest at Ballinaboola two weeks previously.
